I hate it when I start looking for stuff for the bike. It makes me realise I need about £10,000 to get what I want.

Here's what I really do need:-

Petrol tankLeft MirrorLeft bar endLeft footrest

I've ordered the replacement clutch lever, this should arrive later on in the week. That said, the old one is working fine so the bendable lever did the job.

I'm not sure about mirrors yet. I might stick with stock or go aftermarket. Any suggestions appreciated.

On order are some pearlescent white plastics. I know a racer with a set which are in really good nick. I'll get those covered in some hard wearing lacquer before I fit them. Kwak paint is very thin and easy to mark so I want it toughened up before I put it on.

I also have some carbon swingarm covers. The swingarm is scuffed up from my boots so again the carbon will have to be protected. I may as well have another layer of lacquer applied. I've got some clear protective film to put on them as well.

There is already a carbon chain guard and a carbon hugger on the bike. I might swap the chain guard for a black metal one to break up the carbon, otherwise it'll look too much.

I'm not too sure what to do with the tank. Buy a matching white one, buy any colour and get it sprayed white, take it down to the bare metal and polish then laquer it or spray the top white and have the sides clear.

I could go with adjustable footrests but I don't need them. The positon is just right for me. So I reckon I'll get some bling parts for the stock, such as push rod and footrests.

If your after opinions I'm not sure a polished tank would look good on a white and carbon bike. Have you got any pictures of similar projects as might help with a visual as never seen this combo before. Ive only seen polished tanks on mainly black bikes but also on a few red Ducati's.

Also will a steel tank will be that nice polished. The ones you see on race bikes are alloy. I honestly don't know myself its just a question but worth looking into before spending cash. It might not come out how you had hoped.

Regards mirrors your fave company Rizoma do some nice mirrors.

I wouldn't spend money on pegs and pushrods to bling up the stock rear sets it will probably cost you half what a pair of Ses rearsets will cost. There adjustable so you can get your prefect position. Very good quality at any price but a bargain at just over £200. Had them on the Blade for a few years and still look like new.

Sorry but you did ask for input and IMO its only worthwhile if honest as opposed to agreeable. Hope the comments are useful ideas/ suggestions.

The tank is what I'm not sure about. It'll be easier to buya white one and be done with it. But I would like something different. Another option could be having it sprayed to look metal rather than going down the polished and lacquered route.

I need to look around on the internet for ideas. But you're right, it could look shite if I'm not careful

Probably a back log of racers orders. They are good if you need spares too.

Not sure if they do them for kwacks but what about an endurance fuel tank? Better range is what I always want on a bike. Ideal opportunity....

And I'll set it all up for ya but will need it most of August unless it rains and then I'll have to have it for September too. As your a mate I'll do then set up for free and only charge you mates rates for the storage.
